A concept AI phone shows us a future with no apps.
The Concept AI Phone: A New Era in Smartphone Experience
I'm here at the Deutsche Telecom booth at Mobile World Congress 2024, looking at this concept AI phone that's designed to make it so that you don't need to use apps instead you just use AI. This smartphone is a game-changer in the way we interact with our devices, and I'm excited to share its features with you.
Using apps on a smartphone has been the fundamental aspect of your phone, whether you're using an iPhone or an Android device. However, this concept AI phone takes it a step further by doing what you need to do without actually opening an app. Think of it like this: when you want to shop for an item, you have to remember that item is from a specific shop and then find the product you're looking for, check some reviews, maybe check reviews online too, and finally hit the buy button. But what if you could just converse with an AI that would do all the work for you, accessing all the information for all the apps you'd have opened? That's exactly what this concept phone offers.
We got a demonstration of this on the concept AI phone, and it's actually working. It's not some sort of demonstration where they've pre-ordained all the things; these are questions that a person is asking, and then getting responses back first. You can see that someone opens up the app and asks a simple question about buying a gift for their daughter after a few seconds of processing, the AI comes back with a list of products that might be a good gift. If they want to know more about one of those products, they just ask, and then the reviews come up. They can even scroll through a list of videos suggested as good information about that product, and finally, at the end, they could buy that product all without ever opening an app.
This concept phone is not far-fetched, though it may seem like something out of science fiction. Just remember how long ago you needed to remember phone numbers? You stopped needing to remember those after a while, but you still had to remember websites nowadays. And yes, you don't really remember many websites, but you do have to remember apps. This company is envisioning 5-10 years down the line that you won't need to remember apps anymore; instead, you'll just remember experiences, and you'll talk to an AI that will do all the work for you.
If you're wondering about what this concept phone actually is today, it's just an Android phone. If you go back all the way out of this AI application, you get standard Android with the Google Play Store and all the usual apps that you would expect. This company envisions at least at first that you wouldn't be forced to use AI only on a smartphone; instead, you'd have the choice and hopefully over time, you'd start to prefer the AI Serv service over traditional apps.
When the company first rolls out its original product, it will have the ability to be a standard Android phone so you could use the AI for certain things, and then go back to using a traditional Android interface for other things. This should act as a nice stepping stone between the full AI future that this company envisions and the practical times we're living in right now.
Unfortunately, the company couldn't tell us when it was planning on rolling out this concept of a device as an actual product, but given that we're at the Deutsche Telecom Booth, it seems like this would be something that T-Mobile might be involved with at some point. We don't know exactly when or what it's going to look like, but this is a very interesting development for smartphones.
This concept AI phone represents a new era in smartphone experience, and it's not just about the technology itself; it's also about how it can change our behavior as users. It's not like that Humane pin where you don't have a phone instead of having lights on your palm and no interface, or the rabbit with no interface at all; this is a middle ground that could lead people to understand why they would need something like a Humane ey pin or the rabbit. This concept phone might be the revolution we need right now, not just the one we want in the future.

don't need to use apps instead you just use AI now I know what you're thinking using apps on a smartphone is the fundamental aspect of your phone whether you're have an iPhone or an Android phone but this is slightly different in that it's designed to do what you need to do without actually opening an app think of it this way when you want to do something let's say shop you want to shop for an item you have to remember okay that item is from this shop and I have to get that app for that shop find the product that I want to find check some reviews and maybe check the reviews online too so you have to go to another app and it's a whole big process and then finally at the end you get to hit that buy button but what if you could just converse with an AI that would do all the work for you accessing all the information for all the apps that you would have opened but instead you don't have to do the work at all we got a demonstration of this on this concept AI phone so this is actually working this is an actual phone doing this stuff this is not some sort of demonstration where they've pre-ordained all the things these are questions that a person is asking and then getting responses back first you can see that he opens up the app and asks a simple question about buying a gift for his daughter after a few seconds of processing the AI comes back with a list of products that might be a good gift but he wants to know a review for that product so he just asks and then the reviews come up then he wants to see a video about that product so he asks and videos come up he can even scroll through a list of videos suggested as good information about that product and then finally at the end he could buy that product all without ever opening an app if this seems really far-fetched just remember that a long time ago you needed to remember phone numbers then you stop needing to remember phone numbers but you still had to remember websites nowadays you don't really remember many websites but you do have to remember apps this company is envisioning 5 10 years down the lane you won't remember apps anymore you'll just remember experiences you'll talk to an AI and the AI will do all the work for you and then that's it it just happen happens magically if you're wondering about what this concept phone actually is today you guessed it it is just an Android phone in fact if you

this would be something that T-Mobile would be involved with at some point we don't know exactly when we don't know what it's going to look like or what it's going to be called but this is a very interesting development for smartphones as this is the first time that someone's had an AI Vision that's not going to completely upend the standard smartphone experience that we expect today it's not like that Humane pin where you don't have a phone and instead have lights on your palm and it's not like the rabbit where there is no interface and it's all just AI this is a nice in between that
